Does anyone know which colleges superscore the ACT?

I've heard about superscoring and how it's beneficial for students who take the test multiple times. I'm planning to take the ACT more than once, so I was wondering if there's a list of colleges that superscore the ACT? Is this a common practice among colleges?

Super scoring is a practice where colleges consider the highest section scores from multiple test administrations to create a composite score. This practice is quite common but varies from college to college. While there's no definitive list of all colleges that superscore the ACT, many do so.

Here's a brief list of some top schools that superscore the ACT:

1. Boston University

2. Brown University

3. Johns Hopkins University

4. New York University

5. Stanford University

6. University of Chicago

7. University of Georgia

The list is not exhaustive, so it's essential to check the specific test score policies of each college to which you plan to apply. Keep in mind that superscoring policies can change over time, so make sure to confirm the most up-to-date information directly from the college or university's website or by contacting their admissions office.

Good luck on your upcoming ACT tests! Taking the test multiple times and focusing on improving your scores can be beneficial, especially if you're applying to colleges that superscore the ACT.
